Thunderstorms are expected to move through North Texas overnight, and some of them could be strong to severe, according to KXAS-TV (NBC5) meteorologist Grant Johnston.

The greatest risk for severe storms is expected to stay northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where damaging winds up to 70 mph and hail could be possible. Those storms are expected to weaken as they move east toward Dallas-Fort Worth, according to Johnston.

“By the time they reach Dallas-Fort Worth, they still could be putting out some gusty winds,” Johnston said. “They still could be on the strong side.”

The Storm Prediction Center placed Dallas-Fort Worth at a marginal risk for severe weather — the lowest category on the center’s scale.

Most of Wednesday night is expected to stay dry, but storms will be possible after midnight around 3 a.m., according to Johnston.

“As we head toward sunrise Thursday, they pretty much fade away.” Johnston said.

Most of Thursday is expected to stay dry, but then storms return to the forecast on Friday. Showers and storms are also expected to continue into most of Saturday, according to Johnston.

After Saturday, there’s at least a 20% chance of rain in the forecast every day through the middle of next week, according to NBC5. That’s normal for May, which is typically the wettest month of the year for Dallas-Fort Worth, according to the National Weather Service.
